Restoration consultant (and former Homestake engineer) Jerry Aberle works diligently with restoration sidekick and HHOH facility manager Dennes Barrett, (formerly Black Hills Power serviceman) with special paint work by Chad Aberle of Avid Painting. All three men are from Lead, SD. This project was funded and completed because of an anonymous donation in honor of Jim Dunn who worked for Homestake for 38 years, and his sweet wife Betty, both of Lead, SD. The project was also supported by an Outside of Deadwood grant from Deadwood Historic Preservation. Thank you all so much.

How different it looks now. I would emagine the resident ghost
Is thrilled to have it done. I love seeing it when it was still under construction

Thank you for the treat of the time lapse video, wonderful to watch the transformation. Beautiful finished piece. The forefathers would be so proud and I love coming to the theatre. Every time is special to see what has been done to restore it. A gem in the Black Hills.
